Biography Dazhboga

Dazhbog (or Dazhbog) – deity of the Slavic-Russian mythology, referred to in the initial chronicles in 980, at Ipatyevski Chronicle. (Eds. arch. Com., 52), in the Novgorod (id., p. 29) in parchment list Prolog (see "Reading" in 1846 ¼ 2, Article Bodyans'kogo). The value of AD is determined by the insertion of the Byzantine hronografista Malalas in Hypation Chronicle. for 1114 (published architect. com. p. 200): "And the kingdom of the son of Sem him (Svarog), the name of the Sun, it is narichyut Dazhbog …" Sun King, the son of Svarog, there ezhe Dazhbog, Be bo my husband is strong, "etc. As in the original Greek we have here, Helios, the sun in nature DA, apparently, no doubt. There are other indications that his relationship to: the Word Hristolyubtsa said about the Russian pagans:" And the fire-worship , called Ege Svarozhichem; in the "Lay" Russian twice called grandchildren Dazhboga. The fire and the sun, are brothers, and the Knights – the sun descended in almost all the mythologies of kinship. The value corresponds to the long run the former interpretation of the name: dazh – is accompanied. from the cigar, the Gothic, dags (German tag – day) from the ccr. root dagh -'m burning. But Kpek ("Einleitung etc." p. 103, note. 3) and after a lot of arguments Yagitch ( "Mythologische Skizzen" in Archiv f. Slav. Philologie "for 1881, v. V, p. 11) reject such production. In D. Yagitch sees difficult imperative of the verb Duthie (Century glory. Grant) and the noun God and therefore Dazhdbog means God gives and God-bearer, which is well suited to the god of the sun. Some doubts about the authenticity of an ID as a separate deity: 1) Simargl and Mokosh, next to whom he stands in the primary record by more than suspicious, and 2) Yagitch not without some reason to suspect and his father Dazhboga, most of Svarog, 3) Horse, on behalf of which began in AD, chronicles not separated Union and also have sun-god, as is clear from "Lay. Dazhbog, maybe something else, as an epithet, which later became synonymous. It was also assumed that the DA is not found in the southern Slavs. The latter, due to inadequacy of Slavic etymology of the name, made Gedeonov (Varyags and Russ "I, 350 – 1), and after him Famintsyna (" Deity of the Slavs ", p. 207 et seq.), To produce it from the north; Gedeonov leads him from the land of the Wends Obotritov and Famintsyn believes it directly to Scandinavian deity (although the Norse mythology such does not know), the study of Russian Slavs from their Norman princes. Yagitch pointed out, however, the saga (Novakovic published in the journal. "Vila"), indicating that the DA in the form of Dabog was known among the South Slavs and enjoyed such respect, that under the influence of the famous dualist heresy called a devil and an enemy of God and the ruler land, only the Son of God defeated him and stripped him of that power. It is very important evidence in favor of the DA, who, prior guidance of new data, remains one of the least suspicious of pagan deities of our ancestors.
